Good wishes to Matthew Taylor and his family

By | Wed 17th June 2009 - 5:46 pm

From yesterday’s Western Morning News:

THE two-year-old son of Cornwall MP Matthew Taylor was admitted to hospital yesterday after doctors found a tumour on his spine. Arthur Taylor, son of the Truro and St Austell Lib-Dem MP, is in London’s Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital after being admitted for specialist investigation and treatment.

Last week, the youngster was admitted as an emergency to St Thomas’s Hospital in London where a scan revealed the tumour at the base of his spine. Mr Taylor said his son was able to spend “a happy and comfortable weekend at home with the family” before being transferred to Great Ormond Street.

“Every parent will understand how we feel at present,” Mr Taylor and his wife Vicky said in a statement. “We are hugely grateful for all that the wonderful NHS staff are doing for Arthur, and the support we have had from family and friends over the last few days. Childhood tumours are very often completely cured, and Arthur is a brave, strong boy. We love him so much and will be with him every step of the way.”

All at Lib Dem Voice join in wishing the Taylor family and friends the very best in the days ahead.
